Hi Dave, Yes, there is no state held in UHD so you will always need to include the --args "fw.." in your UHD commands. I should have also mentioned that this means you will need to add that exact "fw= D:\Program Files\GNURadio-3.7\share\uhd\images\usrp_b100_fw.ihx,fpga= D:\Program Files\GNURad

Derek, I ran rx_samles _to_file. Although using the location arrguments you gave me for uhd_find_devices allows for the B100 to be found it does not look like the knowledge of where the images are located is retained. Running the samles_to_file command again results in a condition where f

That makes sense. It probably is not perfectly matched to the waveform generator either. I noticed at lower frequencies (about 1 MHz), it begins to look more like a square wave with less ripple, so your explanation makes sense. Having said that, I guess I'm a bit lost on where to go from here. It

Hi Dave, I'm glad that the B100 was able to be detected. If you want to confirm that it is fully operating you could run any of the examples included with UHD, for instance uhd_benchmark_rate or rx_samples_to_file. These are standalone from GNU Radio so should avoid whatever Python issue may exist

Hi Marcus M. and Marcus L., Thanks for the help. Good point about this being more of a USRP digest question. Thanks for referring this to that as well. And unfortunately, that was the correct assumption that I did not use a torque-controlled wrench to connect them either, which maybe I could look

Derek, More success and a new problem. I used the example uhd_find_devices arguments you show below modified for my system and the device was correctly found. Note the windows installer does not create a UHD folder in the Program Files folder but rather in the GnuRadio-3.7\share folder.

There's an obvious bug in the very old fmdet_cf_impl.cc file. I reported it before, but it has not been fixed. Unfortunately I can't do a pull request, so somebody please fix it: fmdet_cf_impl.cc:109 <<>>Sdot = d_scl * (-S0+d_8*S1-d_8*S2+S4); Note that the third term should be S2, not S1.

Hi Dave, That's great news. This means the B100 is being found. The images downloader is a Python script. Do you have a D:\Program Files\UHD folder? Can you look there to see if the uhd_images_downloader.py script is installed? If, and I believe this is the case, the GNU Radio binary installer yo

Hi Pavan, thanks for sharing these observations! To qualifiedly answer, though, we'd need to know a couple more things: Which USRPs and, if applicable, which daughterboards are we talking about, which frequencies and which filter bandwidths, and maybe also which kind of signal? Generally, a litt

Hi, I was doing a quick test to see whether all of the USRPs are transmitting at the same level, so I did a single setup where I connected each USRP's Tx/Rx output to a spectrum analyzer (with attenuations). After sequentially doing it, I am getting up to 5 dB of variation across different USRPs.

Hello Dave, Thanks for posting again. I don't know if anyone else has tried the B100 using the Windows UHD+GNU Radio binaries. Are you connected to a USB 2 only port or to a USB 3 port? I would try a dedicated USB 2 port if possible. Also, I don't believe that permissions issues exist to the same

Oscar, if your frame size is constant, you may not need the header/payload demux. However, there's the rx_ofdm.grc example you can use to see how to connect it all together. Cheers, M On 07/12/2016 12:53 AM, Oscar Sánchez wrote: > Dear all, > > I'm building an OFDM tx/rx with constant OFDM fram
